Keira was indeed panicking, terrified that the whip might even slightly touch Mary.
As she watched Ken lift the whipd, ready to bring it down, she could no longer hold back and stepped forward with large strides. Just as she was about to speak, a voice rang out.
"Stop!"
It was Ellis!
Keira halted in her tracks and immediately turned toward him.
Even Ken was trembling, feeling that if Ellis didn't show up, he wouldn't know how to end this show!
He immediately dropped the whip, looked at Ellis, and continued acting. "Ellis, what are you doing? The Davis family is executing family law. Surely you're not going to stop us."
Ellis understood the insinuation in his tone and coughed. "The child is mine."
As soon as he said those words, a chorus of sharp intakes of breath filled the surroundings!
Even Christina and Victoria, who had been enjoying the spectacle, stared at Ellis in astonishment.
